Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 148 Acupuncture Points, a “New” Medical System

In the forest outside the Anbu base, monkeys and apes could be heard shouting and howling.

“Is this the monkey you caught?”

"Well, it can be done easily using illusion."

Orochimaru nodded.

Then he sighed.

"As you said, monkeys and gorillas are similar to humans in many aspects of structure, so reproduction is also similar to humans, and it takes a long time to reproduce."

Long breeding time...

Not very beneficial for research.

But fortunately, these creatures exist in large numbers in nature, so there will be no shortage in the short term. However, it will take more time and effort to cultivate ninja beasts.

"It would be great if the old man is willing to help with the training of ninja beasts."

Orochimaru glanced at Kyohiko.

The meaning is self-evident.

Jing Yan thought about it and nodded: "I will go to discuss with the third generation master and see if the ape tribe is willing to exchange and help."

Indeed, when it comes to the spiritual practice of monkeys and apes, the ape demon clan has the most say.

It is unwise to use such resources instead of going far away and exploring on your own.

Orochimaru nodded, then asked, "You suddenly asked to come here, do you want to do some experiment?"

"If the acupuncture point treatment experiment is feasible, they can be used as effective organisms for medical treatment and various experiments in the future."

Kyohiko replied, "This still requires the help of Hizashi-senpai."

"um, I?"

The difference in the day was surprising.

He had just been distracted and hadn't listened to what Kyouhiko and Orochimaru were saying.

Jing Yan nodded: "I need your Byakugan to help monitor the monkey's acupuncture points, chakra veins, etc."

"it is good."

Hizashi nodded.

A few seconds later, Jingyan caught a monkey.

Theoretically, chakra exists in every living being, but some can use it and some cannot.

For example, the monkey in front of us cannot use chakra.

It squeaked, irritable and fearful.

but.

As its arms danced, chakra also circulated within its body.

Hiashi opened his white eyes and observed carefully.

After a few seconds, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "It really exists! Moreover, the distribution of chakra veins and acupoints is very similar to that of humans!"

"Great."

Kyouhiko and Orochimaru both showed happy expressions.

This means that it can serve as the perfect replacement material!
"Well, let's try acupressure."

Jingyan pointed his finger towards the "injury point".

With his master-level acupoint pressing skills, he no longer needs to be so cautious when using the “Five Forbidden Acupoints”.

Just a little bit.

"Squeak!"

The monkey roared in fear, but in a flash, his eyes gradually became furious and crazy.

Jingyan couldn't even hold it with the strength he had used before.

"efficient!"

Orochimaru circulated the five elements with his fingers and pressed them on the area where Monkey's chakra had just exploded, immediately sealing the chakra back.

It immediately became limp.

“Incredible! Incredible!!”

Hinata Hizashi was amazed again and again.

The ability to press acupoints can also be applied to monkeys, which means...

If they are smart enough, could they even practice like them?
"Remember the feeling just now, that was chakra."

Jingyan used illusion to comfort him, and whispered what chakra was.

The monkey slowly calmed down.

It looked at Orochimaru carefully, then at Kyouhiko, and squeaked, but no one knew what it was saying, including Kyouhiko, who could only understand its emotions.

But obviously.

It is not as frightening as before.

Even after Jingyan stopped casting the illusion, it still followed them, but due to the side effects of the forbidden technique, it was in a very lethargic state and looked powerless.

Orochimaru looked down at it, a hint of sigh in his eyes.

"Even animals seek power..."

He was silent for a moment, touched the other person's head, and then looked up, "What's next?"

"Try more acupuncture point effects, summarize and generalize, and try to come up with a system. Before that, I have to write a letter to the main body to report the situation here."

"it is good."

……

Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade took a glance and saw that Utane Koharu was immersed in excitement and excitement. She no longer had the anger she had before she came, and her mood calmed down.

The old woman has always been like this, but she has made contributions to the maintenance and expansion of Konoha Hospital. What do I have to argue with her?
Tsunade exhaled.

"Let's go. With medical care here, this technology will definitely be promoted in the future, but how to promote it and how to practice it requires us to discuss and study."

"Ah."

Utane Koharu nodded.

Even though she didn't know how to use acupressure or acupuncture, she knew that medical ninjutsu and techniques required time and experimental subjects to hone them.

Ordinary medical ninjutsu can be replaced by animals such as "fish", but what can be used to replace acupressure and acupuncture?
You can't use living people.

This is taboo.

In the office, Tsunade, Utane Koharu, and Sarutobi Biwako met.

"Tsunade, Kyohiko, how many acupuncture points like this have you discovered?"

"Many acupuncture points have been discovered, but how to verify and try them is the key. Currently, the acupuncture points that have been proven to be useful for treatment are mainly those on the limbs and near the internal organs..."

Tsunade gave the two of them Kyouhiko's booklet to look through.

Of course, the part concerning the "Five Forbidden Acupoints" was torn off by her.

After a few minutes, Sarutobi Biwako put down the booklet.

"Tsunade, this technique is good, but the process of researching and practicing is very difficult. Do you have any solution?"

This is the most critical question.

How to practice?

No matter how powerful a skill is, if it cannot be practiced in a safe way, it can only be put aside.

Or, you have to use some unconventional means.

What can Tsunade do?

She sat up straight and said, "This is also the main purpose of my discussion this time. Are there any alternative experimental materials?"

There was silence in the room.

None of the three could think of a solution.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Jing Yan walked in and said, "Don't worry, the problem has been solved this morning."

"Oh?"

Tsunade showed a hint of surprise on her face, "Have you thought of a solution?"

Utane Koharu wanted to question.

The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back.

Jing Yan never does anything without preparation, and he knows them well enough to not use such a method to experiment on people.

She has already embarrassed herself enough today and doesn't want to be embarrassed again.

Sarutobi Biwako didn't think much and asked directly: "What method?"

"Monkeys, I asked Senior Orochimaru to help collect and tame a group of monkeys and gorillas. Just now, it was confirmed that they also have structures similar to human acupuncture points."

Jingyan replied.

His shadow clone went to do this in the morning.

Tsunade was so excited that she stood up.

"Really?"

"Well, I used a forbidden technique and confirmed that they also have similar structures in their bodies. Through this acupuncture technique, they can burst out amazing chakra, strength and physical energy."

"Great!"

Tsunade was happy, Utane Koharu and Sarutobi Biwako were equally delighted, and all three of them couldn't sit still anymore.

The similar structure meant that they could perfectly undertake the research and practice of medical ninjutsu and skills, and the problems that had troubled them in the past were easily solved.

This is no less meaningful than developing a new ninjutsu.

"But I have a request, or rather a request."

"You said."

Utane Koharu said immediately.

With this kind of result, she would agree to not only one request, but even two or three.

"There is no doubt that the effects and endurance of ninja beasts are stronger than those of ordinary wild beasts. I would like to ask the Third Hokage for help and let the Saruman clan teach them how to practice." Jingyan made the request.

Tsunade and Utane Koharu both looked towards Sarutobi Biwako.

As the wife of three generations, she has the most say.

Sarutobi Biwako was a little hesitant.

"Apes and monkeys are extremely intelligent. If they can master chakra training, their intelligence may become even stronger. Then they can be used as experimental materials..."

Tsunade and Utane Koharu remained silent.

"Ninja beasts can be used as combat resources, and can also be used for experiments and research. Compared to humans, this is already a very good solution."

Jingyan said.

Sarutobi Biwako said, "I will talk to Hiruzen and try to meet your needs as best as possible."

The research and advancement of ninjutsu is indeed inseparable from various experiments.

Between humans and ninja beasts, when necessary, ninja beasts are obviously more acceptable.

and.

The improvement of the experimental subjects is likely to bring about a comprehensive innovation in medical ninjutsu, techniques and systems, and the slight cost is completely worth it.

……

In the evening, in one of the houses in the Sarutobi family's territory, the family sat together to eat, which was a rare occurrence.

but.

The atmosphere in the house was so depressing that it was scary.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at his two sons and finished his meal in silence.

Wait until everyone has finished eating.

"I'm done eating!"

Asuma Sarutobi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi put down their chopsticks at the same time.

The two were about to go out.

"and many more."

"Father, is there something wrong?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped.

Although Asuma was reluctant, he stayed obediently.

"Asuma, how's your training going lately?"

"Fortunately."

Asuma replied calmly.

The atmosphere was awkward.

It was Sarutobi Shinnosuke who talked about Asuma's training.

Two people were standing and one was sitting, but only two of them were talking.

Later on, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't find a topic to talk about, and when he saw Asuma's expression, he immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation and waved his hand to signal them that they didn't need to stay.

The two went outside.

Sarutobi Biwako was about to clean up the dishes, but when she saw this scene, something moved her heart and she stopped and said, "Hiruzen, there are two things I need to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was puzzled.

Even if his wife has important matters to discuss, she usually talks about them before going to bed or in private, and rarely discusses them with him at this time.

"Ape Demon Clan, can Asuma also try it?"

Sarutobi Biwako said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned for a moment and said, "Asuma, his strength is still lacking..."

"You just don't know enough about Asuma. This kid is different from Shinnosuke. He needs more affirmation instead of constantly denying his efforts and ideas!"

Sarutobi Biwako refuted unhappily.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to refute, but he found a reason to refute -

He really doesn't care much about his children, and his current way of educating and getting close to them is still the same as he used to do with Shinnosuke.

but.

The two children have different personalities...

He sighed, "I'll try my best."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, then glanced at her and said, "You probably have something else to do, right?"

"It was Jingyan. He discovered that the structures of animals like monkeys and gorillas are very similar to humans, and they can be used as experimental subjects for ninjutsu and medical research..."

Sarutobi Biwako whispered.

She described the situation in detail, and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked surprised.

Replace humans with apes...

This method.

It wasn't bad, but he had the feeling that Kyouhiko had originally thought of this because of Orochimaru.

He was silent for a few seconds.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I can go and talk to the Monkey King, but let Shinnosuke go to Asuma's place. I may not be suitable for him..."

Ugh!
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Sarutobi Biwako was cleaning the table and said, "Asuma looks strong, but he's actually soft-hearted. He really needs everyone's approval, but there was Kakashi before and now there's Kyohiko..."

"Even if we count from the time of the first generation, there are few in Konoha who can compare with Kyouhiko's talent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said bluntly, "Comparing with him, isn't that just a waste of time?"

"What a waste of time! You should compete with others naturally and with the best. That way you will have motivation! Look, you always think that what he does is wrong and not good enough. Can't you be sure of him?"

Sarutobi Biwako couldn't help but scold.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless.

Outside the house, Asuma Sarutobi huddled in the corner, quietly eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

It's Ryomine Kyouhiko again...

but.

At this moment, Asuma Sarutobi was in a very calm mood.

He has graduated for almost half a year and is no longer the ambitious kid he was when he first graduated, thinking about surpassing Jingyan.

The more he practiced, the more he understood the gap between them.

Don't say anything else.

Just talking about the status gap——

The other party is already the captain of the Anbu, with a bunch of people under him, researching very advanced things every day, while he himself has to spend half a year to study even the fist blade and wind-style ninjutsu.

"Asuma, come, let's continue our practical training today."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke turned back and said.

"it is good."

Asuma stood up and followed.

In any case, he had already lost three years and could not waste any more.

He needs to become stronger and catch up with those ahead of him!

……

“No reward.”

"Maybe I need to participate in developing more techniques that can be used for acupuncture treatment. In addition, some concepts from my previous life can also be absorbed."

"We can slowly try the acupuncture point research and summary on monkeys. At present, we still have to focus on the Ibri clan. Their smoke transformation ability should be completed as soon as possible, so that they can join the Anbu intelligence department to participate in training as soon as possible."

Jingyan thought about the plan in his mind.

However, no research can be completed in a day or two, and training and research can be carried out in parallel.

The next day, electricity and water were brought in from nearby places along the route.

In just one day, the Ibri clan's residence had electricity and water, and Jingyan and Yamato also went there again to help them build ten more houses.

Twenty houses are enough for their family to live in.

Iburi Uta was very grateful.

and so.

He was also thinking about how to make his family generate value as quickly as possible to avoid being abandoned later.

Even though this was a sunken valley, surrounded on three sides making it quiet and windless, they still did not dare to use their abilities at will.

In the outside world, they are worse than ordinary people.

Seeing Jingyan coming, he immediately stepped forward with his two children.

"Sir, these two are the more talented children of our clan. Her name is Xuejian and his name is Tianzang."

Tianzang.

The real master!
Kyouhiko glanced at Yamato.

"Yamato, all the children of their clan will be taught and guided by you from now on."

"Ah I?"

"Correct!"

Jingyan nodded.

Yamato looked at the girl in front of him, and the child who was about his age, with a gleam in his eyes.

He thought of the girl who had stayed in the laboratory with him in the past, and immediately felt more courageous.

"Yes, I will do my best."
